Café Ono

Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park


Lunch on organic vegetarian and vegan comfort foods like salads, sandwiches and pasta in the sunroom behind the Volcano Garden art gallery, or in the artsy garden around a somewhat disheveled fish pond. The hot dishes may not all be prepared to order, but they've got enough home-style goodness to survive the rigorous microwaving.

Pets welcome outside on leash.
